Huckabee's got chops
So, tell me if you've heard this one before. A former governor from Arkansas who grew up in a little town named "Hope" runs for president. He goes on a popular chat show and plays an instrument when he's not engaging in charming banter with the host.
No, not Clinton ... that's soooo 1990s. This guy:
Republican Mike Huckabee was on the Tonight Show Wednesday evening, and yes, he was playing the base. In this clip from the interview he talks about his weight loss, talks about his back and forth with Mitt Romney and offers an explanation about the whole I have an attack ad but I don't want to use it thing.
During other parts of the interview he talked about his plan to move the nation from an income tax to a national sales tax. And interestingly, Leno gave him a couple openings to talk about faith, religion, etc... (Huckabee is a Baptist minister and has sounded quite a few religious notes in Iowa during recent weeks) and he really didn't go down that road.
